How to Choose Ripe Bananas
- Choose a bunch of bananas that are not uniformly colored (with both yellow and green fruits) and have some dark or deep pink spots.
- Naturally ripe bananas will have a yellow stem and body. If the stem is green but the fruit is uniformly yellow, it has likely been treated with chemicals.
- Tree-ripened bananas will have a fragrant smell and natural sweetness, soft and even texture. Bananas treated with chemicals will feel slightly hard, firm, and have astringent and sour taste.
- Avoid choosing uniformly ripe fruits with dark yellow peels as they are often bananas that have been injected with chemicals.

How to choose delicious fresh guava
- Shape and skin: The guava should have a balanced, harmonious shape, feel firm in hand, and not be misshapen. A good guava usually has a skin that is textured, bumpy with lumps.
- Color: The color of a good guava is pale green with a slight yellow tint. If the skin of the guava looks too green and lacks a yellow hue, it means it is not ripe enough for eating.
- Weight and firmness: Choose guavas that feel heavy and firm, as they will have more juice. Gently press your finger on the surface of the guava skin; if it feels crisp and firm, then the guava will be fresher and tastier than those that are soft, wilted, or mushy.
- Stalk and leaves of the guava: It is best to choose guavas where the flesh near the stalk is swollen and slightly yellow, as these will be tastier. If the flesh near the stalk is still green and hard, it means the guava is not ripe.
- Navel of the guava: The size of the guava’s navel corresponds to its ripeness; the larger the hole, the riper the guava.
